Is paper mario soundtrack recorded live?

As the topic title says, do you think the sound track of this paper mario is recorded live? Or is it made at pc as usual? It's something i just want to know out of curiosity, because i really like the music :)

I can tell the music from previous paper marios was computer-made, but this one really sounds authentic.

I second the Topic Creator. Quite a bit of the jazz instruments sound very real, a synthesized sound wouldn't give off quite the same timbre, or just the feeling that SOMEONE is playing the instrument.

Take it from a music major, or even someone who knows a thing or two about instruments that aren't electric.
